Binky and JP revealed the news today (January 15), letting fans know that the baby is due in the summer, and that despite the fact that they're currently not together, they're going to work as a "unit" from now on.

"It's obviously been a huge shock to both of us," Binky told Hello! "This is a new start and a new chapter in our lives."

She added: "I want to be a little family, to be honest. But I'm going to be okay either way."

JP, who caused controversy on the show when some viewers found his relationship with Binky "controlling", said: "Where we're both being very mature is with the fact that you should never get back together just because there's a baby in the picture. It has to be for the right reasons.

"We love each other a great deal, and there's no pressure – but you do have to take the past into consideration, where there have been a few hiccups. We're just taking it very easy."

"Whatever happens, this baby is not going to be affected," Binky said. "And I know Josh will be part of the baby's life whether we are together or not. We are a unit now.

"But we're not dating anyone else," she added. "We're going on dates and hanging out. It would be silly for us to rush back into anything, but we want to focus on the future now rather than the past.
